"In the event that the weather is so severe that it's a risk to safety, though ..." Megan Batchelor reported for Canadian CBC News before her report was interrupted by a stranger kissing her on the cheek.

That's right, a stranger kissed a CBC reporter on the cheek during her live shot at a British Columbia music festival.

Reporter Megan Batchelor didn't take it lightly. In fact, she filed a police report.

"Once the camera was off, once I could remove myself from the music festival grounds and fully process what had happened, I was angry."

According to CBC News, the 17-year-old responsible for the unwanted kiss reached out to the reporter Monday via Twitter. He wrote, "At the moment I thought it was kind of a joke, then I stepped in your shoes, that's when I realized that it all was not a joke at all."

The Globe and Mail reports that Batchelor is satisfied with the apology and will let police determine how to proceed with the charges.
